The games have been played. Let’s see if the geniuses at Sportaphile know anything about the NFL like they claim:

Washington-23 @ Philadelphia-17
Chuck:Yeah Yeah, Washington won like I predicted, but the real story is Santana Moss screwing my fantasy team. Dude you didn’t score ONE POINT. (win)

Risse: I said that this was a must-win for Philly and they lost. And now, Brian Westbrook is hurt again. I feel the momentum seeping out of the Eagles’ season. Meanwhile, I declare the ‘Skins my NFC squad for better or for worse. (Loss)

Kansas City-0 @ Carolina-34

Chuck: My heart goes out to Tony Gonzalez. He broke a tight end receiving record on Sunday but his tremendously horrible team overshadowed it. (win)

Risse: No recap needed on this one, the score says it all. (Win)

Chicago @ Detroit

Chuck: Not only are the Lions one of the worst teams in football… rumor has it they want to get even worse by trading Roy Williams. How do you draft 4 wide receivers in the 1st round, and only have one of them left when the dust settles? (win)

Risse: The Bears took advantage of Detroit and their post-Millen mess. I just hope the Lions don’t beat the Texans in Week 7. Now that would truly be my absolute worse football-related nightmare this season. (Win)

Atlanta-27 @ Green Bay-24

Chuck: I almost had this one, although I lose the matchup…. My prayers for Green Bay to tank this season may be coming true. They’ve lost 3 in a row, Rodgers is hurt, and Favre is flourishing…ahaha. (loss)

Risse: Who says a woman doesn’t know football? I called this one, and surprisingly enough, the Falcons answered my call, on the road no less. (Win)

Tennessee-13 @ Baltimore-10

Chuck: I said I’m rolling with the Titans all year long until they give me a reason not to. Their defensive squad is a monster…. they’re starting to remind me of the 2000 Ravens (with a slightly better offense). (win)

Risse: It’s going to be another tough year for Ray Lewis. Even though defense is essential to success, nothing ensures a victory more than putting points on the board. But really, my favorite part of this game was Tennessee’s Keith Billups wanting to start a fight with his own teammate Courtland Finnegan after a stupid unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. Whatever works because the Titans are rolling into a bye week at 5-0. (Loss)

San Diego-10 @ Miami-17

Chuck: I wanted the Dolphins to win. I said I wouldn’t be surprised if they won, yet I still predicted the Chargers would take it. From here on out I’m rollin with the Wildcats. (loss)

Risse: I don’t care if the Dolphins run college plays, it works! I don’t diss the Dolphins for the wildcat formation, I laugh at whoever can’t stop it. And did I not say that it was very likely the Chargers would find a way to lose? The question is: when will I start listening to myself? (Loss)

Indianapolis-27 @ Houston-24

Chuck: LMAO. I take such joy in the pain of the Houston Texans. I’m convinced I will never witness such an efficient meltdown again in the rest of my life. Meltdowns like this are the ONLY reason the Colts have wins right now. Indianapolis should be 0-4. (win)

Risse: I am still very emotional at the mere mention of this game or the name Sage Rosenfels. This just in: I can never EVER make fun of the Oakland “Faders” again no matter what. There is no performance meltdown that could ever compare to that of the Texans’ QB in the final 3:00 of the game. Sage, you really tried to go vertical like that? You really made two fumbles and one interception in the last three possessions? The Colts scored 22-points in the games closing moments and I now have to endure Peyton Manning gloating all week about amazing comebacks? Generally one player alone can’t lose a game, but this one is definitely Sage’s bad. I have never hated winning so much. (Win)

New York Giants-44 @ Seattle-6

Chuck: The Giants look scary…. but I contend that they haven’t beaten a truly great team yet (I think the Week 1 contest against Washington wasn’t the same ‘Skins team we’re seeing today). (win)

Risse: Is it just me or does Eli Manning look like a completely different player on the field? I guess that is what a Super Bowl ring can do for a man’s swagger. The G-Men didn’t even need Plaxico Burress for this one. It was a route early. (Win)

Tampa Bay-13 @ Denver-16

Chuck: Tampa Bay is now joining the ranks with Arizona and Chicago as the teams with identity crises’ that continue to SCREW me around. I can’t pick two of their games correctly in a row to save my life. (loss)

Risse: Tampa’s Jeff Garcia got to dust some cobwebs off and play in this game after Brian Griese went down. Different quarterback, same result. (Win)

Buffalo-17 @ Arizona-41

Chuck: Who got laid out the worst this weekend? Kimbo Slice or Trent Edwards? That boy had tweety birds flying in circles around his head. (loss)

Risse: The joke was certainly on me in this game. The Cardinals were lighting up the skies as Kurt Warner’s old ass threw the ball 42 times with no interceptions. (Loss)

Cincinnati-22 @ Dallas-31

Chuck: They handed the ball to Felix and Marion more than 20 times on Sunday, which will almost always guarantee a win. (win)

Risse: This was closer than the score reflects. Ocho Cinco didn’t make it to the end zone, so there was no star kissing going down, just as I predicted. But Cowboys fans need to be on alert when it comes to Tony Romo. He is looking more vulnerable with each passing week. I foresee another classic Romo moment leading to the Cowboys’ demise in the playoffs. (Win)

New England-30 @ San Francisco-21

Chuck: Blah…. we could have won…. Except they couldn’t get the ball out of New England’s hands. The defense is too well paid to let this happen to them. (loss)

Risse: It could have been much worse in Candlestick Park for the 49ers. We all know how Belichick gets down. (Win)

Pittsburgh-21 @ Jacksonville-26

Chuck:Big Ben is a monster… even though his team lost, I gained so much respect for him. (win)

Risse: This game was a great one to end the day’s action. And there was a moment late in the game when Ben the Berger went down hard and looked like he might have to come out of the game. I just kept thinking how ironic it would be if Byron Leftwich had to step in against his old team for the game? Ben played through the pain, but the Jags walked away with three wins in a row. (Win)

Minnesota-30 @ New Orleans-27

Chuck: All I gotta say is…. Mario Williams who? No seriously, who the FUCK is Mario Williams?!?!? Reggie Bush is turning out to be the best pick at the top of that 2006 draft class. The Saints lost but Bush has been doing great this year, and outplayed Purple Jesus on MNF. (loss)

Risse: Texans hate aside, Reggie Bush had a stellar performance on MNF. Yet, the Saints turned back into the Aint’s behind another Martin Gramatica miss in crunch time. And Gus Frerotte is the Vikings unlikely hero. NFL Week 5 has been just that crazy. (Loss)

Chuck: (8-6) / (3.5 overall pts)

Risse: (9-5) / (4.5 overall pts)
